{ecard_email} critical error when enabling tribute “send ecard” option

Hi,

This looks like a php type-error, I hope you can help me to patch it. Thank you .

When enabling tribute option, and submititng a donation w/ tribute option, this error page is shown instead of eCard messge. Form and donation go through, but the email does not get sent. This error is given on a new screen. The same screen is shown when trying to preview eCard in the WP Admin > Donations >> Reports.

********
{ecard_email}
There has been a critical error on this websit.
********

Steps to replicate:

1. On Donation page select “Make an “In Memory Of” Donation”
2. Select “Dedicate this Donation” >> Dedication Type “In Memory Of”
3. Enter honoree details
4. Next, under “Would you like us to notify anyone of your donation?” Select: “Yes, send an eCard“
5. Submit form.
6. Error is shown instead of a success screen, or a preview option.

What i did so far:

1. Enabled test mode on staging
2. Disabled all other plugins to test compatibility issues. No results.
3. I enabled error reporting:
   • GiveWP and its addon throw many Deprecated errors. – Tested various PHP versions – hoping to remove multiple Deprecated errors. While specific errors changed, they are still numerous.
   • On the {ecard_email} error screen the following Fatal error is printed:
